65 millions tourists ...
this means in a month there are 5 millions more people in Singapore.
No wonder ...Singapore is SO crowded...long Q everywhere....train from Changi airport is full...
May be we should divert some of the budget tourists to JB.

Erm 65 million passengers means entering and leaving, i.e. each tourist is counted twice. 65 million also includes transit passengers and Sg residents...

65 million passengers seems to benefit retail businesses. How does it translate to more tangible benefits the ordinary people?
Johnny Tang
No benefit lah, lets chase all these tourists away to leave you to rot away in peace in a slum, ok?

65 to 150 million is a long way to go....But still they wanted T5....the greed of tgis government know no limit...all the expansion are mostly with budget airlines...with airport charges..more expensive then their ticket price...they will Hud elsewhere...then changi will be the biggest white elephant in the WORLD...instead of best airport !
